Perhaps eth0 is the wireless when loaded and eth1 is the realtek, but
udev then renames them to the opposite.  Check the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules

After all the stuff above for eth0 is NOT eth0 being detected, but
rather eth0 getting link (which would likely be after the driver was
loaded and renamed).
